Swagbucks Review: Earn Free Gift Cards – see how Swagbucks works

Swagbucks is a free rewards program; that lets you earn “points called SB.”
I signed up for Swagbucks in 2012. At first I was very skeptical if it would work and if it was worth my time. But as it turns out, it’s absolutely the best rewards program I have ever joined. Below, I will explain why and how it works.
First, it is completely free, and there are no costs and No Obligations (view my earned prizes below : lol: )
And best of all, it does not take any extra time since I am using my computer or Swagbucks phone app every day for surfing the internet.

There are many more ways to collect points (scroll down to read on)

What Is Swagbucks and How does it work?

Swagbucksis a Search Engine just like Google or Yahoo.
The difference is that Swagbucks will PAY YOU to use their search page.
Just type the keywords you are searching for into the browser, and you may win points. Each time you win, you will receive a message, as shown in the picture below. “Congratulations, You have won x points ….”That’s the reason I love using Swagbucks. In my experience, it is the best Canadian Rewards program. There is no need to purchase anything to collect points.
It is easy and just for searching the Internet you can receive gift cards just like I do.
Swagbucks is completely free and without any obligations, and there are no credit cards required at all.

How will you get paid ?

First: You are earning points, so called SB, which are digital points.

Each time you search you have the chance to win instant SB

You can also do daily polls (answer 1 question) and get 1 SB per Day (view more ways to collect Points below). I do this every day.

Keep collecting points and then redeem them for FREE gift cards or Paypal Cash.

P.S. read on below, there are more FREE ways to earn points.

The great thing is you do not need a gazillion points to earn cool prize Prizes . Check out these nice deals that were just published recently:

$5 Amazon.com Gift card 450 Points

$5 PayPal Cash 700 Points

$10 PayPal 1,335 Points

$25 Amazon.ca Gift Card 3,150

My gift cardsWhat I have received so far:

I love gift cards and CASH, well who doesn’t? So far I have received over $400 in Amazon Gift Cards, $350 in Pay Pal Cash, several Starbucks Cards, and a $100 Old Navy Gift Card. View the images below, which show the Free Gift Cards I earned in 2012 and 2013 with Swag Bucks Plus I still have over 24,000 Points in my Balance which equals another $250 in Free Gift Cards update: more free gift cards redeemed: .

more free gift cards at the bottom of this page.Just try it for yourself and start earning SB, when you search the web.

I use the search bar during the day and normally win 3-5 times, an average of 7 -15 points each time!

Doing this daily really adds up fast. Remember to download the mobile Swagbucks phone app after you join and you can earn points while searching on your phone.

Remember to immediately install and USE the toolbar to start collecting points.

Not a fan of Toolbars? That’s not a problem either. Simply use theofficial Swagbucks Plugin, which is easy to install, and Internet Explorer friendly. The toolbar is best, but the Plugin is a great alternative.

Is Swagbucks Toolbar safe:

Since someone posted a concern about Swagbucks and questioning if the site was safe I
visited McAfee Safe search to look up the Report and they gave swagbucks a “green light”
Swagbucks received the standard thumbs up with the standard message:We tested this site and didn’t find any significant problems.When we visited this site, we found that most of its links are to sites which are safe or have only minor safety/annoyance issues.
To compare this to websites like Sears Canada,Bell Canada or any major reputable sites,you will get the exact same answer.
You could try it here to see for yourself :http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/sears.ca

Personally I have the toolbar installed for over a year and never had any problems.
Unless you consider collecting free Amazon gift cards a hassle (Hahaha !) 🙂

The service I received today Feb 14, 2014 at the Surrey North store was the fastest ever. My cashier was Sandie she was so polite and she new where everything was that I wanted. I have always shopped at Safeway and i will continue for a long time.
